PCN but the machine said I did not need to pay

Hi,
I have a company car and parked in Asda Farnborough Car Park for an hour. I put my reg into the machine when leaving and it said I did not need to pay. It gave me a receipt however I have discarded that and didn't take a photo which was a bit stupid.
The date of the PCN was 11th December and the Parking charge issue date was Christmas Eve. As it's a company car, I did not receive the notice until 9th January (out of the window of the reduced fee too).
I'm unsure on the correct way to appeal this. I've had a look around this forum and don't know how to carry out Plan A as I don't know how to find the manager or CEOs emails (as suggested in another Asda Farnborough post), plus I haven't got too long now.
I was thinking of appealing and asking for evidence of the machines data that day but would like some guidance from somebody if possible please as I genuinely should not be paying this fee and am confused as to why I've received it.
Thanks and kind regards

I'm unsure on the correct way to appeal this.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Why did you receive this? Because the industry is rife with scamsters. I lgot one the other week even though the app stated "no payment is required" when I tried to pay on exit.

Have you received a PCN in YOUR name or just a copy of the one sent to your company? Is it a lease/hire car or directly owned by your employer?1

Been putting this off and now today is the last day.. It's Horizon Parking and is in my name.
I have been confused as to what to do as I genuinely should not be paying this fine, however I'll appeal using Edna_Basher's template as it seems this is the safest thing to do.
Thank you for your help and if you happen to be online and have any advice before I send it off, please fire away, will be submitting in an hour.1
